Political Compass Test

[quote name='alonzomourning23']The problem is some juries won't convict if they find the charges excessive. For example, if I drive through a crosswalk and kill someone and they seek to convict me for 1st degree murder, there's a good chance I would be let go, even if there was plenty of evidence I accidentally ran someone over.[/QUOTE]

I'm not talking about circumstances like these but rather powerful people in the government that committ wrongs since I think some would NOT end up serving their prison terms or if they got the Death Penalty to truly punish them they'd end up becoming a ghost if I did not supervise their execution. I just want scumbags who are powerful and think they're above the reach of law to be punished honestly.
In the circumstance you outline above I think Manslaughter would be an appropriate charge and would stick and they'd end up serving their time.
 
[quote name='capitalist_mao']I'm curious in what situation this would occur. Mind indugling me in a plausible hypothetical situation?[/QUOTE]

Suicide.;)
 
[quote name='Sarang01']The reason why I feel that way is I think if they weren't given the Death Penalty they'd get away with the crime because of their power.[/QUOTE]

If they are going to get away with the crime it's going to happen regardless of us having a death penalty or not. In fact if we used the death penalty more often it would probably be more likely that the rich and powerful would be let off due to greater concerns of reasonable doubt, after all it's easier on the conscience to lock someone up for 20 years than it is to kill them.
 
[quote name='sblymnlcrymnl']Your political compass

Economic Left/Right: 4.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.44

I've almost got a whole quadrant to myself. Zion's here, but just barely. :lol:

Yeah UNLESS they don't end up going in the first place, i.e. since they're rich they sneak out and get away with it or the government accommodates them. I wouldn't put it past some politicians to get away with it or very powerful people.
 
Now:
Economic Left/Right: -5.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.67


Originally:
Economic Left/Right: -4.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.33

Hmm...
Some of those questions, though I may mark 'agree' or 'disagree', I don't necessarily agree with the *opposite*.
like this one: "Mothers may have careers, but their first duty is to be homemakers." I said no, because when I think 'homemaker', I think of running the household, which is certainly important, but not necessarily the 'first duty'. However, I do think their first duty is to be a good *mother*. I think the same is true of fathers.

Given some issues with questions such as that one, I came up:
Economic Left/Right: 3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.26

Economic Left/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.64

Also.. 3 year bump.
 
Economic Left/Right: 1.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.82

No political leader or any person on CAG is close to me... figures.

EDIT: I take that back, Thrustbucket is decently close.

I probably put "strongly" in some places where it wasn't so strong, but I guess that's reasonably accurate.
